The Denver Nuggets pulled out another nail bitter! Jamal Murray was THE MAN in the 2nd Half as he picked up where Nikola Jokic lefted off in the 3rd Quarter. Jamal got the shot that sealed the deal for the Nuggets! It was another chippy game vs Houston but the Nuggets stayed the course. Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown, and Spencer Jones carried the load off the bench after Aaron Gordon reinjured his hamstring! Jason Kosmicki and Scott Hastings were on the call from Houston. 

In the final hour, Cecil and Richie talked about why they like when Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valančiūnas are on the court at the same time. Is there a certain RB that the Broncos should go target with J.K. Dobbins being out for an extended period of time. How important is it that CU finds a way to win this weekend?   

0:00 - The Avs beat the Rangers 6-3 last night at Ball Arena! They have now won 7 games in a row! I know we've said this before, but we'll say it again. This year's squad really feels different, man. It's not last year's squad. The 25-26 Avs are LEGIT. Their only weakness is the power play. If they fix it, they'll be truly unstoppable. 18:46 - Last night, the Davis Mills-lead Houston Texans defeated the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen (aka the reigning NFL MVP, last time we checked). It sent us down a QB rabbit hole and got us thinking...in the current NFL, how important is the QB to a team? Are they still the most important element for constructing a winning roster? Or is the tide turning?34:42 - Vic is in Houston with the Nuggets right now. Last night, he found himself in the steam room with Nikola Jokic, and they had a strange interaction with a stranger who wandered in.
